2. Rooms for Every Rider (and Non-Rider)

With 27 unique guest rooms and family suites—some sleeping up to ten—The Wildflower Inn welcomes solo adventurers, couples, families, and riding groups alike. Want to bring your crew? Book our Meadows Suites, which include kitchens, living rooms, and space to gather post-ride with local brews and plenty of laughs. All rooms include modern amenities like TVs, Wi-Fi, and private baths, so you can unwind in comfort after a day outdoors.

3. Legendary Breakfasts to Fuel Your Ride

Every stay includes our renowned farm-fresh breakfast served daily. Think Vermont maple syrup, locally sourced eggs, and homemade baked goods—everything you need to fuel up before hitting the trails.

4. Unbeatable Views and Chill Vibes

Perched on a ridge overlooking Willoughby Gap, Wildflower Inn offers sunset views that stop you in your tracks. After a day of shredding, kick back with a drink on the lawn, catch a live music set on the weekends, or take a dip in our heated saltwater pool.

5. Family-Friendly Fun Off the Bike

Not everyone pedals? No problem. The Wildflower is a paradise for kids and non-riders too. From our open fields to lawn games, nearby swimming holes, and day trips to spots like Lake Willoughby, Burke Mountain, or Ben & Jerry’s, there’s always something to explore.

6. Onsite Bike Support from Rifugio Darling Hill

Forgot your gloves? Need a quick repair or want to demo a new ride? Our on-site bike shop, Rifugio Darling Hill, has your back. It’s just steps from your room, offering gear, guidance, and good vibes from fellow riders who know the trails inside and out.

7. Great Eats and Local Beers at The Pub

8. The Perfect Balance of Adventure and Comfort

At The Wildflower, you can push hard on the trails all day and still return to warm hospitality, soft beds, and the comforts of home. Whether you're streaming a movie on your room's TV or stargazing on the lawn, you'll find your perfect way to wind down.
